Antelope territory is included in Lake, Malheur and Practically every strike on the west coast, and others threatened but not called, is known to have been instigated ,by communists who had wormed their way into the unions. Three years ago the Dies committee seized literature from the communists directing w hat should be done to cause a strike in national defense; how to cause trouble and delay production in a irc ra ft factories, in shipyards, in I h Z ’lu m ter industry, etc. The commttee even found the names of communists who were sent to of division. Not a finger was lift- ed by the adm inistration to assist the comm ttee in uncovering the term ites gnawing a t the fábric of government. T he Dies committee made other discoveries. It learned th a t some high placed federal officials, some ho’ding very im portant positions, were playing with the communists. The commttee published a list of some 600 names of men and women on the federal payroll in the na- tional canitol who were members of the League for Peace and Dem- ocracy, a front organization.
